My rating: 4 of 5 stars

It’s never really a good sign when the old gods begin to meddle with the new world. As the “Unhidden” fight for survival from a group of xenophobic maniacs, a sickness breaks out and spreads like the Rona. Fast, deadly and unpredictable this plague only adds to the hatred and fear from the normal people. Our group is split up as they are pushed toward areas that can make better use of their talents. Anna, Komie, and Róisín are all contacted by entities claiming the names of old Irish gods offering their assistance.
I did enjoy the addition of the gods for this book. The multiple POVs are still distracting but I’m beginning to get the hang of jumping around so much. The sequence and timing of this book was different. I thought the last book jumped around but this one mentioned things regarding other characters before it was revealed and sometimes I had to pause a moment to remember where the character had last left off. I am beginning to get a personality variation between the characters which is exciting. Definitely will be checking out the last book.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

It’s not too hard to imagine a magnetic pole shift activating the hidden bloodlines from the legends of our ancestors. It’s even easier to imagine society being afraid of change and attempting to stomp it out no matter the means necessary. A group of misfits all afflicted with new powers end up at a safe house in Ireland to learn about the new changes within them. Targeted by fear and prejudice, the “Unhidden” must learn to control their powers and work together in order to survive.
The concept of this story is believable and quite unique. The multiple POVs made it hard to fully immerse myself into the story and it jumped around a lot. I really liked the inclusion of multiple cultures, but the characters were written very alike in opinions and feelings despite different faiths and races.
The ending did have me on the edge of my seat. And I have to pick up the next book to check on a few of the characters I was able to get to know.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book of the Guardians of the PHAE series and it picks up where the first leaves off. This story follows many characters as they navigate their post-bombing world. With the jump from character to character, place to place, the story didn’t grab me at first. As I navigated through the book, I eventually found myself invested and couldn’t wait to see how it ended. I appreciated the guide at the front of the book that helped with pronunciations and meanings of the language used. Overall, this adventure of the Unhidden is adventurous, captivating, and suspenseful with a little romance splashed in. I hope to read book three and see what happens next.

Freedom Rings (The Circle Book 3) by Brenda Hardwick – Review by Lorralei Hoerner

Freedom Rings: Book Three of The CircleFreedom Rings: Book Three of The Circle by Brenda Hardwick
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very good fantasy book by a new author to me! This is my first book that I have read, and while I struggled a bit due to this being book # 3 in the series to pick up, this ended up overall a great book. I am definitely going to circle back and start this series from the beginning to get the full story of characters.

This story is magical, unique powers but also touches on race and betrayal for sure. I couldn’t possibly imagine wanting to destroy someone or vice versa due to the color of their skin…..the author does such a great job on this.

Soraya is the leader of “The Circle”….trying to plan and keep everyone safe….especially from the likes of Shawn Kites who owns DNAgen Biolab and has so much hate over his heritage. Will Soraya be able to keep The Circle safe?

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose – Review by Tara Johnson Barnes

What Actually Happened to Isaac MooreWhat Actually Happened to Isaac Moore by Samantha J. Rose
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Isaac Moore is a sailor who has devoted his entire life to the sea. Growing up poor he learned to have a vivid imagination and wove grand tales of his life and adventures. Isaac never expected to become part of one of his own fairy tales and he certainly never expected to end up in the storybook his mother gave him as a child. After being drug away by a green fairy with hair made of vines, he finds himself standing at the River that was in the storybook his mom used to read to him. As he stands and watches it flow from world to world, he finds it hard to believe that he is now a part of one of his magical fairy tales in his favorite storybook. Suddenly Isaac is on adventures with giant flowers with eyes, enormous worms, and a man called Snowman that frightens poor Isaac.

This book was absolutely brilliant and imaginative. When I started to read it, I was not sure what to expect but was not disappointed. The book sucked me into the storyline, and I wanted to know where Isaac Moore would end up and what (mis)adventures he would go on. This book was colorful, fun, intriguing, full of adventure and mystery. Highly entertaining! Give it a read!

I enjoyed reading this book. This is the second book in this series which I highly suggest reading the previous book as well. This will help get to know the characters and where they come from up to now. This is a well written story that has magic and messing with the Gods just could get you killed. This is a story that is full of action and hard to put down. I enjoyed this installment of the series as much as the first book, if not more. There is great growth of the characters and the plot which made it easy to read. I found this book to be entertaining and engaging. I really enjoyed seeing what happens with these characters. I highly recommend this book.

Following the fallout of the attack from the PEM (Pure Earth Movement), the PHAE (Protectorate for unHidden Advancement and Education) find themselves struggling to heal all those that were harmed. While healing the outer wounds, Roisin finds a deeper sickness that she can’t quite grasp to heal with her powers. She and others request the help of the old Irish gods. But their help will come at a cost. Will their cost be too high a toll? Can they find a way to protect themselves from PEM without the gods help?

This book picks up right after book 1. The story was intriguing, and I kept reading because I wanted to know how it was all going to work out. There was a lot of information but not quite an inundation of it like in the first one. Seeing the introduction of the gods with each of the characters whose power coincides with was quite an addition to the story. In my opinion, the author did a fantastic job capturing how the gods would think as opposed to humankind. The conclusion has promise of being epic. I truly hope that it is!

This was a fun book to read! I love anything that’s based in an school/academy situation. Makayla doesn’t get accepted into the three schools she really wants to attend, so she gets stuck with the Grave Digger academy. No-one wants to go to that academy. She soon learns that there is more going on than the was led to believe. I am excited to read the rest of the series!

Wow, what an unexpected ending! I really enjoyed this book, it’s long like the first one, but you get a bit of a better feel for the characters and more understanding of the world, since most of the world building happened in the first book. I also loved that we got to connect with the old gods of Ireland more, and got more insight to the mythology and history surrounding the country. Just like the first, there’s another very helpful pronunciation guide in the front. This book is definitely full of its own twists and turns!

This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and it’s definitely an interesting story. It’s almost an Irish X-Men story. The character development throughout the book is something I enjoyed. The book is fairly lengthy, and took me a bit to go through. The writing style is also a little more complex than what I normally read, but I did appreciate that there is a pronunciation guide in the front of the book, considering that while I do have Irish roots, I don’t speak the language very well. If you love modern fantasy/urban fantasy, then this is definitely the book for you!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What Actually Happened to Isaac Moore is an exciting nautical fantasy. There’s a long-lost map to a possibly real land full of treasure, it’s a classic story! But there’s so much more, unexpected twists and features along the way that make it stand out and keep the reader hooked.

I like how down-to-earth Isaac is. Like, at one point a character is carrying a ball of flame to light the way and he’s wondering why they don’t just make it into a torch to at least appear normal. Childhood lessons from his mother keep him grounded and persevering through the strange challenges he has to face.

There’s some fantastic world building in this story as Isaac enters into a magical, terrifying storybook world. Readers are really taken on a journey!

This book gets five stars from me! If you love pirate and adventure stories with plenty of fantasy elements give this a try, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Freedom Rings is as it says book 3. I did not have the chance to read the first two books in this series, but I enjoyed reading this book! I was excited to read an original story so deeply described about a new world of fantasy. I would recommend catching the first two books first, as there were a few parts within the book that I felt kind of left out on. It is my plan to read the first two books and then come back and try this one again. In the book, our main character, Soraya, is pushed into the leadership position to fight against the CEO of the company DNAgen Biolabs. She is the lead in The Circle, and must fight the CEO from making this pill that will eliminate particular people from the world. She is fighting evil magic, and it is a very action packed book. I felt like with each additional character in the story, the story got better and better. I highly recommend starting from the beginning, as I want to know more about Soraya’s beginnings! The author does a really great job of writing an in depth story line. Enjoy!

When I read the first book in this series I hadn’t read a fantasy book for quite some time and it was an absolutely fantastic way to get back into the genre. I am just as impressed with this second book as I was with the first. The author created such unique characters for this series and coupled that with a really creative storyline that you simply want to keep reading no matter what! I was hooked from start to finish yet again. I highly recommend however, starting from book one as this book continues the storyline and without having read the 1st I would have been lost. It is fast paced with so much happening that it totally captivates you all the way through and you simply won’t regret even a second spent reading it!!

Delicious Death (Madame Chalamet Ghost Mysteries Book 2) by Byrd Nash
Genre – Ghost, Fantasy
Cover Designer – Rook and Castle Press

Thwarting an assassination wasn’t on the menu. 

In the southern town of Vouvant, Elinor’s goal was to eat rich food and celebrate if her favorite chef won the Winter Revels. 

Between saving a young society lady and solving the problem of a widower who grieves too much, Ghost Talker Elinor Chalamet has her hands full.

Meanwhile, an assassin wants to seize the crown by murdering the king. Even more irritating is that Tristan Fontaine, duke de Archambeau, is trying to solve the crime before she can.

The first of a six part gaslamp fantasy ghost mystery series featuring a strong female character in a slow burn romance.

This is a peculiar tale that somewhat reminded me of Alice in Wonderland with a sci-fi twist. Isaac begrudgingly ends up on the adventure of a lifetime, meeting strange creatures and facing impending doom across different dimensions. The question becomes can he survive long enough to see his friend make it back home and keep his sanity in tact?

This is an enjoyable and entertaining mix of history, fantasy and Greek mythology, which kept me hooked throughout. Having been ripped from his twenty first century life, Evan now finds himself in ancient Greece, fearing that he will never see his home again. For Evan to have a chance of returning home, he needs to collect god-saving sacred relics for his father Zeus. However, locating these relics will not be easy, he will have to brave perilous seas and face death in search of a legendary oracle. During their voyage Evan, along with his companions come across mythical creatures, fabled warriors, and treacherous sorcery. Evan must complete his difficult quest or both he and the gods will be lost to history, but the most deadliest threat may be bound to Evan by blood. Full of drama and suspense this fast paced and action packed epic kept me gripped, I loved the characters and thought Evan was a great hero of the story. I enjoyed the mythic battles, and the unique mythical creatures that Evan encountered. The plot twists kept me happily turning the pages, and the descriptive narrative brought the settings vividly to life.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The epic historical fantasy adventure continues in this third and final instalment of this enjoyable and engaging series. It really is an action packed story, with a great mix of history, fantasy and mythology, all of which had me hooked throughout. Evan and his companions are now entrapped by Antioche, the Amazon Queen and her warriors, as the Dark Master’s victorious revenge over the gods is almost complete. Meanwhile, the High Priestess has failing health making her unable to rescue her brother and her fellow Atlanteans. The only chance they have of stopping the Dark Master’s succession plans is to recover the last sacred relic, which is secreted in the lair of the Minotaur. Evan must continue his journey to the mystical lands of Krete in order for his father, Zeus, to fulfil his promise.
He also has precious gifts given to him by Queen Antioche, both allegiances and memories are tested in this story, but will Evan make it home, and if so what will his future be. The unique settings are brought vividly to life by the detailed and descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the storyline. The characters and the mythical creatures also come alive and jump off the page. The added historical details make it obvious this is a well researched novel, and the twists and turns kept the plot unpredictable. This was an entertaining read and one which I recommend, along with the two previous books in the series.

Much Ado About Dying (Guardians of the PHAE Book 2) by Rowan Dillon. This is a fast paced read that picks up right after book 1 so its really best if you read it first. In this edition we follow the same group of people and Roisin and Qacha are in a hospital where Roisin is trying to heal people and Qacha is a patient. The problem is even with Roisin’s powers people are dying left and right and they can’t figure out why. When she tries to tap really deep into her powers and receives help from an Ancient Healing God she has opened up a very bad portal. With Ireland still reeling from the attacks and them not being able to heal people they are worried that they may be outnumbered this time. Will Roisin be able to heal people especially Qacha? With Joel being still held in Phae custody due to the bombing and Anna having ratted him out this may be the end. Read this fast paced read to see what happens. I can’t wait for the next installment.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Freedom Rings by Brenda Hardwick is the 3rd book in The Circle book series. I advise reading the first 2 books first. This story is a nicely written good versus evil story that beautifully touches on modern-day issues in a fantasy-type setting. Soroya is the new leader of The Circle. She is bringing the group back together with a plan to take them on the offensive in a world where people are being targeted for removal because of the color of their skin. I really enjoyed this story. It has multiple point-of-views which I usually dislike, but which worked beautifully in this story. The characters are well-written and Shawn and his company are very good antagonists. This book grabs hold of you and does not let go until the very end.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the second book in the Guardians of the PHAE series. I would really recommend reading these books in order so that you get the full understanding of the story. This is a fast paced fantasy adventure which deals with with heartbreak and despair as well as hope. The author does an amazing job of bringing the world alive a the descriptions of Ireland makes you feel like you know the places even if you have never been.

We are back in Ireland with the Unhidden people. We rejoin the story just after the bombings which injured and killed a lot of people with magical abilities( the Unhidden) with cities destroyed, medical supplies low and a mysterious illness showing up Róisín certainly has her hands full and even her healing ability struggling.
As if that isn’t enough to cope with there is still the threat of the groups opposed to magical beings, a deadly plague that is on the loose and when Róisín needs to fight an ancient god to save her world it is definately a story with a lot of action and turmoil and Róisín’s strength comes through in every decision and fight she has.
All this while still trying to figure out what is happening to her abilities and the abilities of all the other Unhidden people.
This story is definately one which gets a hold on you and refuses to let go. You find yourself holding your breath in some parts waiting to see what happens. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this series and what the author has planned next.

This is book three in The Circle Series. Leylines, magic, connecting with the ancestors, and a unique refreshing read. There’s plenty of action and adventure in Freedom Rings. It’s a fast paced plot that keeps you turning the page. The story is told from multiple view points and gives the reader deeper insight into the characters. I would recommend reading the first two books so that you’re not confused and get lost. That being said, Hardwick’s attention to detail in world and character building brings the story to life.

This was a really good read, I have to admit I wasn’t too sure when I read the synopsis if I would enjoy it but I really did. The authors attention to detail really gave the story that extra depth to it. The characters were really unique and interesting to read about. I really like Soraya, she was a great female lead! I have to say that I read this as a standalone so it took me a little bit to understand what was going on and I would definitely like to read the first two books in the series however it didn’t have a real negative impact on my enjoyment of the story at all.
I will definitely be looking forward to reading more book from this author in the future.

So this is book 3 of this series, you will get a little lost in the beginning if you don’t read the first two books like me. However, I do plan on going back and reading the first two later. Soraya is the main character who is forced to take on the lead role to help The Circle prevent the CEO of DNAgen Biolabs from launching a pill that can remove specific people from the world. I feel like I might have said too much and I encourage any and all of you to read this book and the other two books as well. This is Soraya’s time to share her story and I know that you will love this book just as much as I did.

This is the third book in the trilogy and an excellent addition! The story follows Evan, who is Zeus child and his brothers and sisters from Alantis. He must face the Queen that has held them captive, Queen Antioche as well as stop the Dark Master (Kronos) from bringing about the Messiah. Not only is he the main character in saving the Gods, but he also now has completely forgotten who he is and his mission. Gods, adventure, betrayals, love, and so much more, what else could you ask for? I have really enjoyed this book. I think personally you could read this book without reading the others, as the author does a really nice job of catching the reader up on everything that has previously happened.
